    Summary

    You’ve known Joel Miller for years. He’s practically part of the family - always by your dad’s side with that dark, brooding frown.

    You’ve never really thought much of him. He’s just…Joel. Dad’s best friend, occasional ride home, somewhat-scowly dinner guest.

    Until you come home one summer, after graduating college, and suddenly -

    You can’t think about anything anything else.

    Summary

    Joel doesn’t know how to describe what you were to him. You’d never made any promises to each other, but you loved his daughter like she was your own. Had he known what would happen, he wouldn't have let you go.

    series will take place before AND after the outbreak. Slow-burn(ish), eventual smut.

    Summary

    Newly settled into Jackson City, you’re assigned to patrol duty with Joel Miller; a man of rough edges and a cold facade. What begins as forced proximity slowly shifts into something raw and all-consuming.

    But as the past creeps forward through old wounds and the ever-present threat of the world outside Jackson's walls, your feelings for one another become both a sanctuary and a liability.

    In a world already broken, where there is already so much to lose, can you let yourself love Joel Miller?

    Summary

    Separated by miles, years, and the undead, you and your husband have been ghosts in each other’s lives for two decades. The thought of Joel being alive hurt just as much as thinking he was dead. But when a stand-off forces you face-to-face with a familiar man—older, harder, and still devastatingly him—all the pain resurfaces.
